Most of the world does reflect that. Its not like affluent neighborhoods are all over the place

They literally are, but I live in London so all the country's affluent neighbourhoods are here and expanding in to traditional shitholes

They could always commute rather than live in an area where the cost of living is so far out of their means, ya know?

Or they can live across the street from a restaurant where the average meal price is half their monthly salary and every other amenity is out of their price range.

Or... Because the area houses both groups, they also serve both groups. There shouldn't be places where the cheapest shopping is wholefoods, and there shouldn't be shitholes where Costco is a tourist attraction.

The existance of poor people does not have to mean the place is neglected, and the existance of rich people shouldn't make a place completely monoculture. Most of the world is in the middle and most of the world should reflect that.

Work needs doing everywhere and so everywhere needs to house minimum wage workers

At that point you're just talking about culture in general and its only benefit is busy work.

I've seen estimates of the volume of gold in Smaug's hoard, and I don't think he even breaks the top 10. It says a lot that people writing billionaires in fiction can't even make them as wealthy as many real people because of how ludicrously implausible that real wealth is.

But Smaug's fortune is in immediately sellable assets, not buildings and speculation.

idk, 25 years in jail for 8 billion dollars? seems like a fair trade.

Not really, I'd willingly take that trade, which means the prison sentence isn't a disincentive to commit the crime.

Have they considered, perhaps, that the amount of potential numbers is too high for the amount of participants?

It's only fair if that means people can sue the government for false imprisonment at a rate of 320 million per year.

Weeks.

Where do you live, Alaska?

She's fine, how are you?

I'll get it when the trilogy is on steam for like 20. So probably not for a decade.

a online multiplayer world with (supposed) ongoing support in the form of new content at a frequent enough pace (baseline minimum being bungies destiny support of once a year ofc)

if it's not live service then it's definitely live service adjacent

It's early access.

And yes, live service games are adjacent to betas, they develop half a game, see if people will fund the other half, then if it's not dead by then, start some DLC with that money

It's such an irrelevant thing, I don't know why you'd care to memorise it. It's like in school being made to memorise the periodic table like it isn't literally a lookup table.
